Clemson baseball 2021 schedule set. Series with Gamecocks shifts to new weekend
Clemson released its 2021 baseball schedule Wednesday, and the Tigers are on track to face South Carolina in one of the big four sports for the first time this academic year.
Clemson will play the Gamecocks in its second weekend series of the season, with the games being played Feb. 26-28. Game 1 will be at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson, followed by Game 2 at Fluor Field in Greenville and Game 3 at Founders Park in Columbia.
The two teams typically meet in the third weekend series of the season, with the games taking place the first weekend of March.
Clemson and South Carolina did not play in football this season when the SEC shifted to a conference-only schedule. The men’s basketball game was postponed due to COVID-19 and appears unlikely to be made up. USC and Clemson were not scheduled to meet in women’s basketball in 2020-21.
The Tigers are playing a 50-game baseball schedule this year, which includes 12 ACC series. That is up from the usual number of 10 conference series. The SEC is planning a normal schedule structure in 2021, per Kendall Rodgers of D1Baseball.
Other key dates for Clemson baseball in 2021 include a three-game series to open the season against Cincinnati at Doug Kingsmore Stadium from Feb. 19-21.
The Tigers will open ACC play March 5-7 against Notre Dame. Other home ACC series are: vs. Virginia Tech March 19-21, vs. Virginia April 9-11, vs. Wake Forest April 23-25, vs. Louisville April 30-May 2 and vs. Duke May 20-22.
